KY-020 Tilt Switch Module

Description

TeknoCrafters FA3031 KY-020 Tilt Switch Module

The TeknoCrafters FA3031 KY-020 Tilt Switch Module is a compact and economical digital sensor designed for detecting orientation or position changes. Utilizing a simple metallic ball switch mechanism, the module detects tilting motion and sends a digital HIGH or LOW signal output based on its position. It is an excellent choice for DIY electronics, embedded systems, robotics, and educational kits.

This module is fully compatible with popular development boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32, providing flexibility and ease of integration for hobbyists and professionals alike.


Key Features

  • Digital Output Signal – Outputs a binary signal (HIGH/LOW) based on tilt position

  • Wide Operating Voltage – Compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems

  • Simple 3-Pin Interface – Signal, VCC, and GND for straightforward connectivity

  • Compact Dimensions – Measures approximately 19mm x 15mm x 10mm

  • Built-in Pull-down Resistor – Includes a 10kΩ resistor for stable signal output

  • High Compatibility – Ideal for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, and ESP32 platforms


Technical Specifications

Specification Value
Operating Voltage 3.3V – 5V
Output Type Digital (HIGH/LOW)
Interface Pins Signal (S), VCC, GND
Resistor 10kΩ pull-down
Dimensions 19mm x 15mm x 10mm

Installation Example

For a simple home security setup, mount the KY-020 Tilt Switch Module on a hinged surface such as a door, lid, or access panel. When the object is moved or tilted, the module detects the shift in orientation and triggers a connected microcontroller to activate an alert or log the event. This makes it highly suitable for tamper detection and basic intrusion notification systems.


Installer and Technician Benefits

  • Plug-and-Play Design – No complicated setup or calibration needed

  • Dependable Operation – Mechanical ball switch provides consistent performance

  • Highly Adaptable – Useful in numerous projects: robotics, alarms, interactive exhibits

  • Cost-Efficient Sensor Solution – Budget-friendly tool for tilt/movement detection
